Brid is a writer, researcher & social activist on Female Genital Mutilation/Circumcision (FGM/C). She is also a former NHS worker. Brid makes a compelling case based on years of research and work with affected communities that neither men nor women should be criminalised for practicing circumcision. Freedom, as Brid’s work so effectively exemplifies, has to mean choice not legal enforcement. Excellent additional information is available on her Blog at https://www.shiftingsands.org.uk
